Nepal is Safe

Nepal is safe to travel after devastating earthquakeAs we know that Nepal recently faced one of the biggest shocks of earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 Richter scale which killed more than 9,000 people and injured more than 23,000. It made hundreds of people homeless across many of the district of the country. Many of the centuries old buildings were destroyed which is a great loss of our country. UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bahktapur were destroyed.

Now it’s been almost 3 months and most of the things are coming to normal. But now it has affected the tourism sector which is struggling to bring tourism in the country. Many people across the world today is thinking that is Nepal safe to travel after the devastating earthquake or not. And we say a big YES; yes it is 100% safe to travel. Nepal always stands as safe destinations. And now, it is safer because the people has lost their fear and has become stronger enough to face everything and people are now more hospitable. Routes those were affected or supposed to be a danger are now close to preventing from further damage. We can see lots of helping hands from all over the world. All the nations are helping on their own way.
